Letra de la canción
When the sun got big, and the night came down
We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
We let the good times rock - you made the bad times roll
We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul
Old friends - in better times
Old friends of mine
And when the going got hard
And when times were tough
We put our backs to the wall
You used to strut your stuff
With a head held high and a heart so big
One fist at the sky - and shake a leg
Old friends - in better times
Even though, even though we miss you now
Look forward, don't look back
We'll get by somehow
Old friends of mine
Yeah
And so I raise my glass in a last goodbye
Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
The best thing I can say, after all this time
You were a real friend, of mine
Old friends - in better times
